Query on User DLTs table.

[<upendra.allu () wipro com>]

Hello,



I have a query on "User DLTs table" window on Wireshark.

My main intention is to dissect Wireshark plug-ins as independent
plug-ins (I mean with out dissecting Data Link layer (Ethernet) and IP
layers, I directly want to dissect plug-ins on top of IP layer.

I found the following webpage useful for my purpose.

http://wiki.wireshark.org/HowToDissectAnything



In the webpage he explained on how to dissect HTTP plug-in as
independent plug-in, in the similar way I want to dissect my plug-ins.

My question here is, in Wireshark Edit --> Preferences window, on
selecting DLT_USER --> Edit, in User DLTs Table --> New window, we have
different DLT values ranging from 147 - 162, in the "Payload Protocol"
field it is accepting only some protocols (ex, HTTP, FTP, which I tried)
for User 0 (DLT=147).

If I give HTTP in that field, I can dissect HTTP layer directly without
its bottom layers. Now how can I define my plug-in names there so that I
also can also dissect my plug-ins directly? Do I have to define the
plug-in names some where in the code?

Please help in this.



Best regards,

Upendra
